LHD Tuscan owners: give me your help!

[TVRUnoficialBlog]

Hello everybody,
I'm working on a Register about the LHD Tuscans. 56 cars are currently registered. If anybody would give me some help (infos, images) to improve the work, I'd appreciate it a lot.

Thank you so much.

There's as many as 56?, I thought LHD Tuscans would be pretty much in single figures!.

Please note that the register http://tvrblog.blogspot.com
is Mk1 and Mk2. A total of ca. 50 cars ever built seems to be reasonable and is proven by pics.

However there is some double counting that probably comes from different people sending pictures from different periods / registration plates of the same car. The following cars are probably/certainly double counted:
No56 = No40
No47 = No7
No16 = No11
No50 = No23

This is a great website with loads of good information and beautiful pics.
Thanks to the Italian enthusiasts ...

I'm surprised there's as many as 56 LHD Tuscans I would have thought there would be only 10 or less,also do the LHD ones have extra air vents in the dash?, looking at the pictures of some of the interiors on the site linked earlier it looks like they do or were they just a later addition as mine hasn't got them.

It's a very interesting question. I've been told that dashes are exactely the same but I didn't consider this aspect.

oops I've seen it's already registered as number 38 but with "importation plates" now it has the definitive registration plates.

It sounds a bit expensive! Hope the engine rebuild was completed last week!!!

that's the price in France for a LHD Tuscan BUT with french papers very difficult to get.

this one still has english papers I think seeing the british plates

for your knowledge, the grey MK2 wich was french plated in 06 (near Nice), number 28 in your register was sold last year to a guy from Reims (France) for the amount of 79000 euros.

mine (number 38) which I bought in Italy in 2008, has got a total rebuilt engine from Racing Green Cars (including lightened flywheel, blueprinted head, simplex timing chain, high revs camshafts, equal length inox exhaust manifold, decatted) in 2009.

Prices are very high for a Mk2. This sound "strange". Asking to enthusiasts, it seems that Mk1 Tuscans are really more funny. And it seems that reliability level is always the same.
